Fire in the Brain: Clinical Tales of Hallucination
Fire in the Brain Clinical Tales of Hallucination Author:Ronald K. Siegel Siegel, a neuropsychiatrist who studies brain changes that occur under the influence of drugs, sensory deprivation, dreams, torture, and the like presents 17 fascinating case studies he's encountered. From the horrifying tale of two young women who were drugged with ketamine and repeatedly raped, to the clinical description of a man's being flay... more »ed alive while suffering no pain, each tale reads like a Poe horror story. The author himself has participated in many experiences, from going into the isolation tank to being locked in a cage for four days with no food or water. His clear, matter-of-fact style makes these cases both vivid and memorable. They're enough to turn anyone off simple aspirin!-- Diana C. Hirsch, Prince George's County Memorial Library System, MD
